THANK YOU...
for selecting an American Standard bath. Your new
bath is shipped to you after careful inspection. The
whirlpool version is completely assembled with pump,
motor, and system piping. All you need to finish the
installation are your selected fittings and electrical
connections for a whirlpool.
To insure maximum performance and pleasure from
this product, please follow the instructions and
cautions.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your
vendor immediately.
After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. After installation, and before
enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.
Do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely
affect the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by
the pump, motor, or piping system.
Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and
enclosing materials are provided by others. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead
(required for recess installations).
Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.
WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.

FRAMING AND INSTALLATION
Bath may only be installed above the floor line in a recess type installation, as shown in recess installation diagram.
Locate studs as required. Insure rough dimensions are proper, plumb and square.
For whirlpools, provision must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing pump and controls.
The following procedure must be used for all installations: leveling support stringer should be as indicated.
The bath is supported from the apron and the rear tiling flange. No support under the sump is necessary.
Position bathtub/whirlpool within the recess, check level, front to back, side to side, and shim as necessary.
Also check drain clearance hole in the subfloor.
To secure the tub to wood studs use roofing nails immediately above the flange of the tub.
To secure the tub to steel studs use drywall screws and flatwashers.
Caution: take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub.
The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other
applicable codes.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:
1. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
3. Install to permit access for servicing.
4. All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential. ADDING THE SAFE-T-HEATER REQUIRES A SEPARATE
15 AMP MAXIMUM GFCI CIRCUIT.

DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST
Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Check the pump
couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2" above the top of the
highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings are
factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occured during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is connected
to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on. Check for leaks around all piping connections while the whirlpool is
running.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or
stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span
®
mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ENAMEL SURFACES.
Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing
with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
